10th Anniversary Season Celebration Underway

The Colorado Avalanche will celebrate its 10th season with a look back at the team's 10 greatest moments and the biggest fan appreciation contest in Denver sports history.

The Avalanche's 10th Season Sweepstakes offers fans the chance to win one of 10 prizes, including exclusive team experiences, vacations and a new home courtesy of Amber Homes.

"The Avalanche has had incredible support since its arrival in Denver and this is a fun way to thank our fans during this special season," Kroenke Sports executive vice president Paul Andrews said. "We're especially grateful to the team's sponsors. Their continued partnerships have been invaluable to the franchise."

Avalanche president and general manager Pierre Lacroix added: "We've established an outstanding relationship with our fans and this represents a unique way to celebrate our 10th anniversary season in Denver. I want to thank all of our sponsors for their involvement in this celebration and for their long-term commitment to our franchise."

Each of the 10 prizes will be awarded during Avalanche games throughout the season. The schedule of giveaways will be announced shortly.

"The Colorado Avalanche has been a model of success in this community since 1995 and we are thrilled to be a part of its anniversary celebration," said Jim Harmon of Amber Homes, who will award the Grand Prize of a single-family home.

KeyBank also will sponsor a season-long commemoration of the Avalanche's history in Colorado with a series of posters, in-game banner raising ceremonies, and a DVD handout. The "Great Moments" series will celebrate team milestones including its Stanley Cup championships, division titles and player accomplishments.
